Entry: Down the Memory Hole Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/down_the_memory_hole#29851 Post contents: Dr. Gottfried, I already have looked to the Rittelmeyer post -- I did so before posting here. My post there has been deleted, or for some other reason does not appear. "I was simply pointing out their irrelevance for prominent postwar conservative activists and publicists. Most of the ones I knew had very little interest in what is today called white nationalism; Moreover, outside the South, these activists did not feel obliged to defend segregated institutions." Fine, agreed. "But unlike the Left, these conservatives did not think the civil rights movement would make most Americans freer; and they feared the effect that civil rights legislation would have on American constitutional government, as they understood it." Fine, agreed again. Yes, the expansion of civil rights legislation introduced large numbers of radical voters into the voting booths. It seems to me the solution to this would be property restrictions or simple bans on radical parties, not indiscriminate bans on people voting due to their skin tone and national origin.
